In this paper, an amended K-Means algorithm called K-Means++ is implemented for color quantization. K-Means++ is an improvement to the K-Means algorithm in order to surmount the random selection of the initial centroids. The main advantage of K-Means++ is the centroids chosen are distributed over the data such that it reduces the sum of squared errors (SSE). K-Means++ algorithm is used to analyze the color distribution of an image and create the color palette for transforming to a better quantized image compared to the standard K-Means algorithm. The tests were conducted on several popular true color images with different numbers of K value: 32, 64, 128, and 256. The results show that K-Means++ clustering algorithm yields higher PSNR values and lower file size compared to K-Means algorithm; 2.58% and 1.05%. It is envisaged that this clustering algorithm will benefit in many applications such as document clustering, market segmentation, image compression and image segmentation because it produces accurate and stable results.

Lately, many of the road accidents have been attributed to the driver stupor. Statistics revealed that about 32% of the drivers who met with such accidents demonstrated the symptoms of tiredness before the mishap though at varying levels. The purpose of this research paper is to revisit the various interventions that have been devised to provide for assistance to the vehicle users to avert unwarranted contingencies on the roads. The paper tries to make a sincere attempt to encapsulate the body of work that has been initiated so far in this direction. As is evident, there are numerous ways in which one can identify the fatigue of the driver, namely biotic or physiological gauges, vehicle type and more importantly the analysis of the face in terms of its alignment and other attributes.

The increasing of renewable energy applications such as solar cells, wind power, ocean thermal and HVDC (high voltage direct current) cause increment in the use of the inverter circuit. Harmonics that are generated by the inverter have negative impacts on the electrical equipment; harmonics cause excessive heat and may shorten the life of electrical equipment. A multilevel inverter is an arranged of cascaded inverters which aims to reduce total harmonic distortion (THD). This paper proposes the design of 17 levels of a single-phase cascaded multilevel inverter with a hybrid filter insertion. By using PSIM simulator, the hybrid filter is proven reducing THD better than single pulse width modulation (SPWM) inverter. Installation of the hybrid filter is able to fix a maximum of 0.23% THDv and a maximum of 1.05% THDi. Hybrid filter installation reduces the value of THD to comply with IEEE 519-2014 standard.

The distributed Agile development approach has been accepted by software companies due to its promised benefits. However, due to the controversial nature of distributed and Agile development, significant challenges arise from spatial, temporal, social, and cultural differences between distributed teams. Scrum, as the most popular Agile methodology, assumes that team members work together in the same room. But this principle does not apply in a realistic scenario where Scrum teams are distributed in different locations. Hence, proposing a risk management framework is necessary in order to succeed such teams. The purpose of this research was to propose a risk management framework in Scrum using the PRINCE2 methodology, which includes the perceived risks in distributed Scrum projects and their causes and roots for managing these risks. By embedding distributed Scrum in delivery layer of PRINCE2 and considering perceived risk factors, along with a hybrid model, a risk management framework was suggested. This framework has been used in a case study, and the results showed its proper functionality in detecting and eliminating potential risks in the case under study. Also, using this framework led to higher team efficiency in terms of increasing the number of completed user stories in each sprint.

The calculation and results of simulation of the magnetic control system for the spacecraft momentum are presented in the paper. The simulation includes an assessment of the reliability of calculating the Earth's magnetic field parameters, as well as an assessment of the quality of object stabilization by resetting the total momentum with the aid of the system under review. The outcome of a comparative analysis of resource efficiency and energy efficiency are demonstrated in the implementation of the proposed hardware models of controllers on FPGA. The strengths and weaknesses of the programming models are shown. The developed models will allow to be modified and perform more complex operations in the future.

The current approach to handle interleaved write operation and preserve consistency in relational database system still relies on the locking protocol. If any entity is locked by any transaction, then it becomes temporary unavailable to other transaction until the lock is released. The temporary unavailability can be more often if the number of write operation increases as happens in the application systems that utilize IoT technology or smartphone devices to collect the data. To solve this problem, this research is proposed blind write protocol which does not lock the entity while the transaction is performing a write operation. This paper presents the basic principles of blind write protocol implementation in a relational database system

This work describes the design of innovative IoT-oriented farm management system that employs low-cost WSN for detecting soil, environmental and crops parameters that properly processed, in combination with weather forecasts, are used to determine future farming activities based on agronomic models implemented in the software platform. Goals of carried out research activity are to guarantee production both qualitatively and quantitatively of cultivated crops, to increase company income and reduce environmental impacts; achieving these objectives is a prerequisite for implementing of sustainable agriculture. Connection between traditional cropping systems and innovative technologies is achieved through the utilization of low-cost wireless electronic modules for acquiring data from connected sensors. The fertigation system operation is supported by solar-powered low-cost WSN capable of constantly monitoring soil and environmental parameters; thanks to sensor nodes properly positioned in cultivated land or greenhouse, interest parameters of both air and soil are detected and transmitted to on-cloud database, to allow monitoring and remote control from enabled users (farmer or agronomist). For this aim, an application specifically realized and tested during the different fertigation system’s functional tests, allows users to visualize and eventually remotely intervene by using a smart-phone or tablet.

Moisture content in the process of drying is often unknown when carrying out the drying process, especially the fluidized dryer. A lot of experimental designs are needed when observing the drying phenomenon more deeply. It is because to stop and repeat drying process from the beginning again when the sample is taken to test its moisture content needed more experiments. Therefore, this paper presents development of a non-intrusive moisture measurement system prepared for fluidization type dryers. The method used in to conduct this research consists of (i) structural design analysis and (ii) functional (mechanical and electrical systems) and (iii) simple testing of the water content measurement system of constructed material. Test parameters observed include errors in measuring and fluctuating sensor signals against vibration applied to the weighing system. The results showed that non-intrusive moisture content measurement system for fluidized dryers based on the ESP8266 microcontroller had been successfully developed and worked normally. The measurement system has been calibrated with a coefficient of determination (R2) close to one. Measurement error resulting from the effect of vibration on this system shows a very satisfactory value of 6.89%.

In general, a good interaction including communication can be achieved when verbal and non-verbal information such as body movements, gestures, facial expressions, can be processed in two directions between the speaker and listener. Especially the facial expression is one of the indicators of the inner state of the speaker and/or the listener during the communication. Therefore, recognizing the facial expressions is necessary and becomes the important ability in communication. Such ability will be a challenge for the visually impaired persons. This fact motivated us to develop a facial recognition system. Our system is based on deep learning algorithm. We implemented the proposed system on a wearable device which enables the visually impaired persons to recognize facial expressions during the communication. We have conducted several experiments involving the visually impaired persons to validate our proposed system and the promising results were achieved.

One of the biggest challenges in human-agent interaction (HAI) is the development of an agent such as a robot that can understand its partner (a human) and interact naturally. To realize this, a system (agent) should be able to observe a human well and estimate his/her mental state. Towards this goal, in this paper, we present a method of estimating a child's attention, one of the more important human mental states, in a free-play scenario of child-robot interaction (CRI). To realize attention estimation in such CRI scenario, first, we developed a system that could sense a child's verbal and non-verbal multimodal signals such as gaze, facial expression, proximity, and so on. Then, the observed information was used to train a model that is based on a Support Vector Machine (SVM) to estimate a human's attention level. We investigated the accuracy of the proposed method by comparing with a human judge's estimation, and obtained some promising results which we discuss here.
